Here's what the Experts are saying about Glutathione

*

Glutathione is a substance, the levels of which

in our cells are predictive of how long we will live.

There are very few other factors which are as

predictive of our life expectancy as is our level of

cellular glutathione. We literally cannot survive

without this antioxidant, " - Earl Mindell, R.Ph.,

Ph.D.

*

Glutathione is a tri-peptide of the amino acids

cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. A deficiency of

glutathione can cause hemolysis (destruction of red

blood cells, leading to anemia) and oxidative stress.

Glutathione is essential in intermediary metabolism

.... for the detoxification of acetaminophen (Tylenol).

- [PDR Medical Dictionary. Spraycar. 1999]

*

" Without glutathione, other important

antioxidants such as vitamins C and E cannot do their

job adequately to protect your body against disease. "

- Breakthrough in Cell Defense, Allan Somersall,

Ph.D., M.D., and Gustavo Bounous, M.D. FRCS©.

*

" No other antioxidant is as important to overall

health as glutathione. It is the regulator and

regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable

detoxifying agent in the human body. Low levels are

associated with hepatic dysfunction, immune

dysfunction, cardiac disease, premature aging, and

death. " - The Immune System Cure, Lorna R.

Vanderhaeghe & J.D. Bouic, Ph.D.

Here is some interesting reading. Not on cataracts

but on some of the important things this little

antioxidant does.

*

" As Dr. Lombard points out in his book, " The

Brain Wellness Plan, " Glutathione is one of the most

powerful antioxidants in the body. Depressed

glutathione levels are associated with the increased

generation of fr'ee radicals found in Parkinson?s

patients, for example, and contributes to further

brain cell death. " - Excerpts from the Willner Window
